Lets try and decipher this..
"So I have heard it wrong".. probably means "I may be mistaken but I have heard"
"that some companys".... that some companies
"will pay it for u"... will pay the rent on the property
"as a incentive for"... as an incentive to
"keep it rented at all times"...... fine with that.
So to put it all together, we get:
"I may be mistaken but I have heard that some companies will pay the rent on the property as an incentive to keep it rented at all times"
Which is really quite bizarre. You want some commercial entity to pay the rent on your vacant property just so that its "rented" continuously. Why on earth would they do that, unless they wanted to go bankrupt or something?[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rise like Lions after slumber

there are firms who do offer this bizarre service - but - the amount of rent that the LL gets is stunningly low to compensate the Letting agents for voids
needless to say - the ones i have read about sound like utter scams to me0 -

Yes it will be long term and yes i will be far away hence wanting an agent to look after it for me0
